Another method is to view the code of the site that is known to have your Google Analytics code installed. You&#8217;ll want to search the code (<em>CTRL+F<\/em>) for the value &#8220;<em><strong>UA-<\/strong><\/em>&#8220;. Ideally, there will only be one match for &#8220;<em><strong>UA-<\/strong><\/em>&#8220;, but you should be able to locate the Google Analytics script to similar code below. In the following examples, the &#8220;<em><strong>UA-XXXXXX-X<\/strong><\/em>&#8221; value is your Google Analytics Property ID.<\/p>\n<pre>&lt;script&gt;\r\n  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){\r\n  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),\r\n  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)\r\n  })(window,document,'script','https:\/\/www.google-analytics.com\/analytics.js','ga');\r\n\r\n  ga('create', 'UA-XXXXXX-X', 'auto');\r\n  ga('send', 'pageview');\r\n\r\n&lt;\/script&gt;\r\n<\/pre>\n<p>Once again, the &#8220;<em><strong>UA-XXXXXX-X<\/strong><\/em>&#8221; value is your Google Analytics Property ID.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<a name=\"ga-plugin\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Method 3: Google Analytics Property ID With A Browser Plugin<\/h2>\n<p>If your site uses something like Google Tag Manager, it may not be possible to use Method 2. In this case, I&#8217;d recommend you use a browser plugin to find your Google Analytics Property ID.
